Because she got up early all year round, the sky was slightly bright the next day, and Luo Dong'er woke up.

Looking at Yang Xu sleeping beside him, recalling how crazy he was last night, Luo Dong'er couldn't hide her shyness, but also felt satisfied and down-to-earth.

Secretly spat: "I'm really ashamed."

Luo Dong'er gently lifted the quilt, got dressed, pulled her shawl hair into the style of a married woman, and then quietly walked outside the house.

By the time Yang Xu woke up, Luo Dong'er had already cleaned up the yard, and cooked a bowl of warm corn porridge for him, with the pickled wild vegetables he had eaten last night, and delivered it to him by himself.

This made Yang Xu a little ashamed, obviously he just put down his cruel words last night, saying that he would take care of others for a lifetime, so that the family could live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.

Unexpectedly, after only one night, I became the one who was taken care of.

It's really a slap in the face...

After breakfast, Yang Xu took Luo Dong'er to Han Mancang's house.

According to the custom of the Great Zhou, on the second day of marriage, the newlyweds will serve tea to meet their in-laws and elders.

Yang Xu's parents are no longer there.

According to memory, the Yang family's relatives were also separated in the famine and war.

So in this Ning'an County, Han Mancang and his wife are Yang Xu's only elder relatives.

After the couple saluted the tea, Han Mancang and his wife gave each of them three silver red envelopes as usual.

Don't underestimate the weight of three dollars per person.

In today's Great Zhou Dynasty, the annual expenses of ordinary farmers are only two taels of silver.

Of course, this algorithm refers to growing the grain itself.

If the cost of self-grown grain is also included, then two taels of silver can probably be used for six or seven months.

But even so, it is enough to show how much this red envelope is.

After the tea ceremony, the two families were chatting and sitting in the small courtyard.

Yang Xu looked at Han Mancang, who was full of joy, and suddenly asked, "Uncle, how much is an acre of land worth now?" ”

Han Mancang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If it is a good field close to the county seat, one mu is worth about five to seven taels of silver, and the mountain field here is almost three or four taels." ”

"Three, four, two..."

Yang Xu thought for a moment.

At present, the family still has five acres of mountain land, although it was abandoned for a year due to a military disaster during the spring planting last year.

However, these mountain fields are all close to water sources, and they belong to the best fields, and if you sell the fields yourself, you can probably get about 20 taels of silver.

With these silver taels, he will be able to fulfill the promise he made to Luo Dong'er as soon as possible, and take his mother-in-law to the family to support him, so as to be fully filial.

In fact, Yang Xu was also helpless.

In the three years that the original owner has gone crazy, the family's savings have long been spent.

At present, except for these five acres of mountain fields and a small courtyard, there is no other floating wealth to speak of, which can be described as a family with four walls.

Now in this situation, if you don't sell the land, let alone take over the mother-in-law, it will be difficult to solve the daily rations of the young couple.

Yang Xu was reluctant to always rely on Han Mancang for help.

In that case, wouldn't it be no different from waste?

He also didn't want to lie flat in this small col, thinking that he was also a traverser.

If you can get out of this poor country and take refuge, just rely on the knowledge you have learned in your previous life.

Not to mention being able to worship the marquis, at least you can make some small inventions, small creations, and make a little money, so that Luo Dong'er's mother and daughter can live a worry-free life.

However, before that, Yang Xu still had to talk to Han Mancang first.

After all, he was the only elder of the original owner.

Since Yang Xu has inherited this identity, he naturally has to assume the responsibility of this identity.

Yang Xu secretly pondered for a while.

So he said, "Uncle, I have decided to sell my land and house and move to the city. ”

"What!?"

Han Mancang's eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly said, "What are you selling the land for?" That's your parents' legacy! If you sell it, won't you become a loser, and you will be poked in the back! ”

As expected, Han Mancang was obviously shocked enough by the news.

Blowing his beard and glaring, he almost jumped up from his seat.

"Uncle, don't worry, listen to me."

Seeing this, Yang Xu hurriedly used the rhetoric he had thought of last night and said: "Seeing that the township exam will be held next year, but the child can't even get together to catch the exam, how can I go to the provincial city to participate in the township exam?" ”

"Now that he is doing this devastating move, he will fight against the water, and the child can also study hard, so that he can come back with a reputation for next year's township examination!"

Talking,

In order to be able to strengthen the persuasiveness,

Yang Xu also deliberately leaned into Han Mancang's ear and added: "The children in this township test are full of confidence, uncle, don't forget, the nine-character proverb of the old man Chenghuang." ”

Hearing this, Han Cang's body was shocked.

Could it be that the last three words of the nine-character proverb will be in this township test?

After Yang Xu's reminder, Han Cangman's opposition couldn't help but loosen a little.

But after thinking about it for a while, he hesitated again: "Having said that, do you have to sell the land?" Xu'er, now that you have recovered, you can deal with the imperial examination with peace of mind, and your uncle will worry about the entangled matter. ”

"Although my uncle doesn't have much talent, he also has the ability to hunt in the mountains."

"I heard that there are tigers in the White Horse Mountain north of the county recently, and the county government has a reward, and the tiger hunter will get thirty taels of silver, and I will go to participate in the tiger team in a few days, if you can succeed, won't you solve this entanglement?"

Yang Xu was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "This matter must not be done!" How dangerous is the hunting of tigers, if it is for the sake of the children's imperial examination, putting the uncle in danger, then it is better not to go to this township? ”

Hearing Yang Xu say that he was going to boycott the exam, Han Mancang was really startled.

But he couldn't bear to watch Yang Xu sell the inheritance left by his parents.

In the current concept, this kind of thing is obviously a loser's behavior.

Only a ruined son and a broken family will do it, which is bound to make people laugh and be poked in the backbone.

But if Yang Xu didn't participate in the imperial examination, Han Mancang would be even more anxious.

After struggling for a long time, he finally sighed and compromised: "Okay, sell it, sell it, and when you come to high school, you will put him in a hundred and ten acres of land, and it is not impossible to glorify your ancestors." ”

Hearing Han Mancang's relent, Yang Xu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said:

"Uncle, you also know that since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I have been selected by the imperial examination, and this scholar has passed the township examination, and there will be the meeting examination and the palace examination later."

"A child aspires to be an official in the imperial examination, how can he live in this rural place for a long time?"

"What's more, the ambition of the big husband should be like the Yangtze River, running east to the sea, why bother to stick to a few gossips between the markets?"

"Good!" Hearing this, Han Mancang's eyes couldn't help but light up: "A good man should be careful about the world, and he really shouldn't bother with other people's gossip!" Xu'er, you have such a great ambition, my uncle is very relieved! ”

Yang Xu said with a smile: "That's it, when the child will come to high school, glorify his ancestors, and then put him in a hundred and ten hectares, even if he goes down to see his father and mother in the future, they will agree with the child's actions today!" ”
